Still no baby!
So for all of you who are anxiously awaiting news of Eunice Tallulah’s arrival, she is still living in her little protected world. She decided to ignore the “due date” that has been assigned to her and to hibernate for a longer time. I knew she’d be late, so I am not surprised, but I was a bit disappointed to see March 19th pass without incident. And it looks like March 20th will pass the same way. I told my Dad tonight that I tried to get her to be born today to be a birthday present for him, but nope, she wasn’t having it. And the Siberian Death March, (aka 3 mile, 1 hour 40 minute walk around Town Lake), Tim put me and the dogs on yesterday obviously did not have the desired effect either. And now I have a cold. Not from the death march, but from the La Leche meeting Anna, Ashley and Henry and I attended Friday. Where there were lots of unleashed children, I’m sure one of whom got me sick. I just hope it’s the same thing Ashley and Henry have already had so they don’t get sick again too:( I have been fortunate enough to not get sick the entire time I’ve been pregnant and my luck runs out now? Sorry, I’m feeling just a little sorry for myself. Hopefully my body will kick this thing fast. I’m already feeling better than this afternoon when I was sweating like a pig, then freezing. No fever, thankfully, but a sore throat which is making me whiny. I always get sore throats and I hate them worse than any other cold symptom because I love to talk so much!
Speaking of the La Leche meeting, it was wild! There were about 30 children of varying ages playing in the middle of the circle, and none of the moms would speak up, so you couldn’t hear anything that was being said. I wanted to do an impromptu class in public speaking. The children were not badly behaved, they were just behaving like children do, and it was totally overwhelming! Plus there was lots of boobage, and lots of breastfeeding of children that were old enough to ask for it, not to mention lots of “we’re not going to answer your question because it involves limiting your child and we do not believe in that”. I think all of us were a bit shell-shocked afterwards. Charlotte and Owen were there too, I couldn’t tell what she thought of it, but I assume she had a similiar reaction.
Sarah and Philip stopped by this weekend and she got us the cutest goth onesies, I about died! One is The Cure with the Japanese Whispers album cover, and the other says “Siouxsie and the Banshees Peekaboo” and has a little frilly skirt built in. They are SOOO cute! Eunice has gotten lots of adorable clothes, but nothing that she can wear to her first concert. Now she’s ready! Katie and Ryan also came and visited and we had a great time with them, mostly eating, but also enjoying the SOCO SXSW craziness. I was worried I’d go into labor or be a real louse Saturday, but luckily I was in a good mood and just had a wonderful time with them, I’m so glad they visited!
